Hands Free Devices is a body of work focused on the dehumanizing effects of technology and the ways data-obsessed reliance on digital devices erodes trust in intuition. Text describing real and imagined technology is screenprinted on handmade objects. I use analog processes like screenprinting and sewing to emphasize a handmade aesthetic, at the cost of efficiency and perfection. These “smart devices” boast capabilities to acquire real-time data, share information, and monitor human activity, but notably missing from these matter-of-fact claims is an appreciation for mystery and delayed gratification. As we humans adapt ourselves for technology with little or no restraint, I uncomfortably acknowledge the normalization of digital connectivity in place of mindful, physical connection and ask what is forfeited in the exchange.
